Math Problem Statement

Evaluate the nested integrals as shown in the uploaded image, starting with the innermost integral.

Solution

The image you uploaded shows a nested series of integrals. The structure appears to represent multiple integrals of the form:

01(01(0101xdx)dx)dxdx\int_0^1 \left( \int_0^1 \left( \int_0^1 \cdots \int_0^1 x \, dx \right) dx \right) dx \cdots dx

This represents repeated integrals of the function xx from 0 to 1. Let's break down the first few steps of solving this nested integral sequence.

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. First Integral: 01xdx\int_0^1 x \, dx The result is: x2201=122022=12\frac{x^2}{2} \Big|_0^1 = \frac{1^2}{2} - \frac{0^2}{2} = \frac{1}{2}

  2. Second Integral: The next integral is: 01(12)dx\int_0^1 \left( \frac{1}{2} \right) dx Since 12\frac{1}{2} is a constant, the result is: 12(10)=12\frac{1}{2} \cdot \left(1 - 0\right) = \frac{1}{2}

  3. Third Integral: Similarly, for the third integral: 01(12)dx=12\int_0^1 \left( \frac{1}{2} \right) dx = \frac{1}{2}

It seems like each additional integral gives the same result. Since it's a repeated integral of a constant value 12\frac{1}{2}, the result remains 12\frac{1}{2} at each level of integration.

Would you like a deeper explanation, or is there anything specific you'd like me to clarify?

Here are 5 questions that expand on this:

  1. What would the result be if the limits of integration were different?
  2. How would this change if the integrand function was more complex than xx?
  3. What is the geometric interpretation of repeated integrals?
  4. How does this apply in higher-dimensional calculus, such as double or triple integrals?
  5. Can this pattern of integration be generalized for different constant functions?

Tip: When dealing with nested integrals, always solve the innermost integral first and work your way outward step by step.
